We’ve seen the photos of the three detained Russian women who make up 3/4 of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot. We’ve seen the video capturing the performance art that took place in a priests-only section of Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Savior, of which the purpose was to act in peaceful demonstration highlighting a particular relationship between President Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church, and protesting the affects that political relationship has upon Russian citizens. This video complimented the last song Pussy Riot had released before their detainment, until now. The new song is called “Putin Lights Up The Fires”. Since their formation in late 2011, Pussy Riot had been performing in highly populated areas, anonymous and in costume, giving voice to threatened human rights in Russia, as well as speaking up for gender equality and freedom of expression.

Since the verdict was delivered on Friday, sentencing these women to two years in prison, Pussy Riot has shared their new song, “Putin Lights Up The Fires”. The Guardian created a video montage to acompany the new song, putting together photos from the detainment of Pussy Riot, photos of citizens supporting them, and the original video for which the women were accused of being “hooligans”. Translated lyrics of the song can be read below, couresey of @Russian_Market and Girlie Action Media Marketing & Management.
